scrapbookbuzz Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Good morning! Welcome to the Hogwarts! er, I mean, the Lounge! Today's theme stems from the fact that I, evidently, woke up on the wrong side of the bed! Thankfully, no one else was awake to experience that - I just knew from the flumox going on in my brain! Therefore, I decided it was WORTH it to go to Starbucks today. Thankfully I had gift cards! Knowing it's probably all due to menopausal hormones, I treated myself to my favorite drink made with soy (and I know Sbux uses organic vanilla soy, which I prefer) and a bakery item. Organic soy for the win! Have you given yourself a treat lately? What was it? Here: see above! Plus, I'm going to a women's Bible study this morning at our former church. I really miss that church! What's your weather like today? Here: finally COOLER weather! In the high 70s to low 80s in the morning and under 100 for the highs. Might seem brutal to some of you but when it's been OVER 105*F for days.on.end, anything UNDER 100 is fabulous! What's your favorite bakery treat (full on gluten, gluten-free, vegan, whatever)? Here: I should not eat them as I am highly sensitive to gluten (not Celiac) but I really adore Starbucks' pumpkin scones! Talk to me! 🤸♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 My head is now foggy. could be the gluten. Or could be the fact I just completed an online job application. I personally LOATHE applying for any job online. Can't I just turn in a piece of paper to an actual human already?? May be time for a nap already...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I had breakfast at Starbucks this morning. Since we do morning school at Starbucks every morning this wasn't a huge change - though I usually eat breakfast at home and just get a drink at Starbucks. We need the buzz of people around us in order to be able to concentrate better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 I like the idea of school at Starbucks! Maybe we'll join you some morning! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I haven’t had a treat lately. The last thing that felt like a splurge was when dh and I went to my favorite Indian restaurant. We split samosas and a curry. I really craved a slice of chocolate flourless torte that night but I haven’t found a bakery here that has it. I am considering making one for Christmas this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the best chocolate flourless torte! It is in the "How Can It Be Gluten Free" cookbook by America's Test Kitchen. (And no, I don't have the recipe available now, sorry.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
